The Human Book

January 16, 2018 by Joel Burns in meditations

The Bible, divinely conceived, concocted, and compiled, turns out to be not merely divine, but also profoundly, honestly, and unabashedly human. It does not shirk away from the brutality that is mortal life, broken by sin and so often defined by pain.

The Unmoved Mover

November 16, 2017 by Joel Burns in meditations, God

God didn’t just make the universe. God is holding the universe together. Every moment of every single day, we exist because God wants us to.
